After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

"I am not blind."

Murong Jingyan asked casually, "If I hadn't arrived today, how would you have planned to break the impasse?"

Du Heng was very purposeful today. It seemed that it was for Shen Rou, but in fact it was not entirely true.

Thinking of the delicate status of the Anping Marquisate in the court, Murong Jingyan lightly twisted his fingertips with his right hand behind his back, maintaining the nonchalant expression he had when he was alone with Shen Muxi.

"The doctor won't find any clues. The purpose of asking the doctor this time is to let Du Heng know that Shen Rou is pregnant." Shen Muxi answered truthfully.

Murong Jingyan chuckled, "Du Heng probably never dreamed that he would encounter a small white flower that was easy to control, but it turned out to be a black-hearted man-eating plant."

Shen Muxi nodded in agreement, "Shen Rou, it's true that she is not as simple as we see on the surface."

A normal woman would have been ashamed and angry to death if she was found pregnant in public, but Shen Rou was able to remain calm for so long.

If Murong Jingyan had not been present today, Shen Rou's aggrieved look would have fooled Du Heng in an instant.

"Right now, I don't know whether Shen Chuanhai is on the same page with Old Madam Shen and Shen Rou."

Shen Muxi's eyes flashed with anxiety. She looked up at Murong Jingyan and expressed her concerns, "Your Highness is very perceptive. You should know what Shen Chuanhai is thinking better than me."

The woman in front of me had a clear and calm gaze, no temptation, and a frank attitude.

Murong Jingyan paused slightly as he twirled his fingers in his sleeves, then scoffed, "Who knows?"

His voice was clear and sweet, like a mountain spring that slowly seeped into people's hearts, soothing Shen Muxi's anxiety.

he knows.

He didn't tell her.

This is the message Shen Muxi received.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to speak anymore.

The clatter of horse hooves came from far away.

A fast horse came galloping over.

Shen Muxi just had time to look up in the direction of the galloping horse, and only heard a voice of "be careful" in his ear.

Her arms tightened, and then the world began to spin.

His fingers are beautifully long and powerful.

But his hands were as cold as ice.

The tense force was transmitted to her arms through the thick clothes, as if they were tightly clamped by a cold iron hoop, or as if they were being grabbed by a dead person.

The moment the two looked at each other, the hairs on her body stood up and a tingling sensation spread from her arms to her whole body.

She felt a chill down her spine and quickly pushed him away.

No time for embarrassment.

He Hong, who was behind the two men, had already stepped forward quickly and whispered to Murong Jingyan, "They are people from the border."

Murong Jingyan's eyes darkened slightly. He glanced at the direction the man left, then turned to look at Shen Muxi.

When she pushed Murong Jingyan away just now, even through the thick clothes, she could feel the coldness coming from Murong Jingyan.

It radiates from the inside out, completely without any warmth.

Now meeting his gaze again, she almost blurted out, "If Your Highness has something to do, please go ahead and do it. I can go back by myself."

When Murong Jingyan was about to speak, she added, "I can handle the Shen Mansion."

She didn't think Murong Jingyan was worried about her, but she felt that someone like Murong Jingyan would not like trouble.

After all, that's who she is...

Murong Jingyan was about to say something, but when he saw that she was in a hurry to leave, he scoffed, "That's the best."

He was really crazy, actually wanting to leave her two useful people.

A temper that he didn't even know why came out was trying to take over his mind.

He quickly suppressed it again.

She turned around.

Halfway through turning around, he felt a warmth on his hand.

The man who wanted to leave just now was now standing beside her, and a small porcelain bottle was stuffed into his hand.

"If you're too cold to sleep at night, take two pills."

The small porcelain bottle carries body temperature.

A cold wind blew past, and Murong Jingyan seemed to smell a faint medicinal fragrance on the woman.

Warmth spread from the small porcelain bottle into his palm.

He stuffed the thing back into Shen Muxi's hand as if he had been scalded.

"No need."

After saying that, he turned around and told He Hong, "Send Miss Shen back home."

"Yes."

He Hong watched in confusion as his master walked away at a speed as fast as if he was being chased by a ghost.

Turning around, he saw Shen Muxi also looking in the direction Murong Jingyan left. He quickly spoke to attract Shen Muxi's attention, "Miss Shen, please."

Shen Muxi nodded slightly, put away the porcelain bottle, and returned to the Shen Mansion with He Hong.

At the gate, he just saw the furious Du Heng jumping onto the carriage of Anping Marquis' Mansion.

The servant guarding the door could not keep Du Heng.

Turning around and seeing that Shen Muxi was sent back personally by the prince, he did not dare to make things difficult for her.

Shen Muxi returned home safely.

As early as when Shen Muxi took out the small porcelain bottle, Shen Xi was already very surprised, and she had been suppressing her curiosity.

It was not until Shen Muxi stepped into the Chuihua Gate that he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Mu Xi, why did you give him the Fire Lotus Pill?"

The Fire Lotus Pill is made by boiling the Fire Lotus Fruit, which only bears fruit once every ten years, with various tonic herbs.

For people with a normal cold constitution, just one pill can regulate their physical condition. Taking three pills can strengthen the body and eliminate all the coldness in the body.

And the bottle of Fire Lotus Pill in Shen Muxi's hand contained ten...

Such a big deal...

“When he helped me just now, the temperature of his hands was lower than that of an ordinary person.

I also noticed that the tips of his fingers were bluish-white. If he wasn't suffering from a chronic illness, then he must have been poisoned without realizing it. I'd have to take his pulse to find out."

After a pause, she continued, "We're all on the same page. If I can use the Fire Lotus Pill to gain his trust, it wouldn't be a loss."

Shen Muxi didn't feel anything before.

But after what happened tonight, Shen Muxi discovered that Murong Jingyan's identity could sometimes bring her a lot of convenience.

Shen Xi instantly understood Shen Muxi's plan, so he stopped worrying about it and instead talked about another thing.

"When we left just now, Du Heng was still here entangled with Shen Rou. I didn't expect him to leave so quickly."

Shen Muxi scoffed coldly, "Leaving too soon is not a good thing either."

If Du Heng was a normal man, if he had any true feelings for Shen Rou, he would be angry.

Even after getting angry, I don’t know if Shen Rou can still keep her marriage.

However, she was a little curious about whose child was in Shen Rou's belly?

After chatting with Shen Xi all the way, Shen Muxi soon returned to his yard.

I saw lights on in the yard from afar.

Shen Muxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Guess who is coming?"

Shen Xi curled his lips in a sarcastic tone, "Do I still need to guess?"

After what happened tonight, Shen Rou probably no longer had the heart to look for her.

Old Madam Shen and she had always been "acquaintances", and sometimes she would appear at critical moments to "rescue her", but she rarely came to her yard on weekdays.

Zhang is still in a coma.

Then there is only Shen Chuanhai.

It seemed to confirm Shen Xi's statement.

Shen Muxi had just stepped into the yard.

A teacup flew towards him.

"Be careful!!"

Almost at the moment Shen Xi opened his mouth to remind him, Shen Muxi had already moved two steps to his side.

"Clang——" sound.

The teacup shattered into pieces three steps behind her.

"You still know about coming back?"
